Informed Parent started this petition to Rocklin Unified School District and Rocklin School Board

The FAIR act mandates that instruction include diverse groups and their accomplishments in history, including LGBTQ+ persons. We understand this requirement.The FAIR Act also explicitly gives districts and teachers broad discretion to decide when, how, and how often these topics are included.

The Studies Weekly Curriculum being considered by Rocklin Unified School District (RUSD) includes pointed references to the sexuality of gay, lesbian, and transgender historical figures to children as young as seven years old. This is too much, too soon as it initiates and accelerates conversations on human sexuality for which many small children may not be developmentally prepared. The discussion of a persons’ sexual orientation and gender identity to a child that does not see the world through a sexual lens is confusing and that lens should not be forced upon him or her prematurely. Let children be children.

Constitutionally, parents have the primary right and obligation to educate their children, especially concerning these controversial and sensitive topics related to human sexuality and relationships, in a time and manner most appropriate for each child. The district should respect the cultural and religious values of all RUSD families and not coercively impose controversial ideas about culturally sensitive topics like human sexuality on our children. We strongly urge RUSD to exercise its discretion in a manner that reflects the values of tolerance, diversity, and inclusion of all RUSD families and children.

The following parents of Rocklin irrefutably claim our rights to our children and petition the RUSD School Board for the following:

· Delay the adoption of Studies Weekly for grades K-5.
